With this Christmas issue, we’re pleased to display on our front page an original work by the wonderful Irish-born artist Vincent Crotty. The Reporter newspapers commissioned Vincent to create in this time of social distancing an original painting of Christmas on Boston Common.
A resident of Lower Mills where he lives with his wife, the brilliant performer and Irish dance teacher Kieran Jordan, Vincent does his creative magic, day in and day out, in his backyard studio. One recent morning, I spoke by phone with him, but he had little time to chat, as he was about to do an online one-hour yoga class, and later remotely teach his own class in artistic technique to a student he has never personally met.
2.5-Hour Whale Watch
Whether you are from the Southern California area or coming from any location around the world, it is well worth the trip for this whale watching tour that never goes out of season!
On-staff marine biologists will share wildlife facts with passengers on a sea adventure to see whales, dolphins, sea lions, and birds. Reaching up to 45 ft. in length and weighing up to 40 tons, Gray Whales depart from their summer feeding grounds in Alaska and migrate south along the West Coast to the isolated lagoons of Baja California to mate and give birth. See the southbound and northbound migraters up until the end of April. If you don’t see a whale or dolphin, then your next trip is free.
